Should You Close The Door On Open Relationships? Hold On…

If you want the love Will and Jada have...

Practicing an ‘’open relationship’’ or non-monogamy may seem and sound like an individualisation exercise. You know, those ‘’Personally, for me…’’ kind of things. The concept sounds interesting, but it ain’t easy in practice. For some, it’s an obvious choice. For others, a possible solution, a way of life, or a total nightmare.

Open relationships, ethical non-monogamy, consensual non-monogamy (and the names go on) are far from the usual monogamous relationships where you choose to settle with one particular person. It’s a relationship style that involves being sexually and/or romantically connected to more than one person. The keyword is ‘ethical,’ which means everyone involved agrees, understands, and consents to be involved and responsible in this relationship style.

However, before you decide to jump into one, do understand that there are different dynamics and ways to practice an open relationship. A few different forms of ethical non-monogamy include:

Polyamory: Being in more than one romantic relationship at a time.

Open relationship: Deciding to be sexual with different people.

Swinging relationship: When couples decide to engage in different types of “partner swapping.”

That’s right kids – swinging didn’t stop in the rock n roll era. It’s still very much alive. So whether or not this sounds crazy or delightful to you, we want to know… can this work for everyone? Ethical non-monogamy does not mean a couple is being careless, or that they just get to do whatever they want. In fact, it often requires more work, more communication, and more understanding when these other dynamics are introduced. Understand that it’s not a quick fix or solution to those who are not totally ready to consent, are not comfortable with the idea, or don’t have a solid foundation and are looking for a quick fix. 

Sometimes, when couples find themselves dealing with relationship issues or cheating or trust issues, they consider the idea of an open relationship or another form of ethical non-monogamy *cough* Jada and Will *cough*. Bear in mind that ENM is not the medicine for troubled relationships. So if you’re already having issues associated with trust, fidelity, sex, and/or communication, opening your relationship won’t resolve those issues and could cause more issues for everyone involved. So, we clear?
